Abstract
In this paper, we present a novel configuration of a U-shaped dual-frequenc y single feeding port planar inverted-F microstrip antenna for mobile commu nication applications in both the GSM and DCS 1800 systems operated at 0.9 and 1.8 GHz, respectively Staring from an initial design derived from an em piric approximation and transmission line model for a standard rectangular microstrip antenna, we analyze, tune, and optimize the electric performance of the antenna and its dimensions by means of the generalized nonuniform f inite-difference time-domain (NU-FDTD) Maxwell's solver.
